I just hope we get nice APHE/APFSDS rounds for it tbh.
If it’s similar to the the french VBCI premium it’s going to be solid. Can also pair it with some 9.7 and 10.0 vehicles for a lineup.
Neat first blog, that’s one more off the deal.
Outside my area of interest. If it’s anything like the ones Japan got, it should be 9.7
could have a fun line up with the VMF5, Rooikat MTTD, Rapier and the Badger

Hoping we have 30mm rounds with good penetration an IRST tracking system an airburst round. And we can actually damage the sides of top tier tanks.
We all know the 25mm on the Desert Warrior is terrible.
Ita going to be the same BR as Puma and other top IFVs.
sabot is apds, dart is apfsds

doubt it, with a 70 round ready rack I assume it will be the same BR as all the other 30mm IFVs so 9.7
UK literaly has not mbts left to add.
The chally 3 will need a tiny bit more cooking until its finished
Why would it? are you forgetting the bunch of 30mm armed wheeled AFVs already at 9.7 or are you just deliberately ignoring them?
not really there are a couple of challenger 2 variants left, the Challenger 130 and then there are the more recent challenger 3s with up armoured cheeks
I would say 9.7 like the ice/mcv. However it could be 9.3 if it doesn’t get spall liners and the fire rate is lower(seems like it could be)
Yeah looking at it 9.7 seems likely
Ah yeah forgot about the prototype ones and the german challenger.
Nut lets correct it then there is no mobile /armored mbt left for UK. Best armored thing they might get is the tc90 bishma mk3.
Chally 130 is a glass cannon. Would be funny for uk and germany
I mean again up armoured challenger 3 is right there, supposedly should have up armouring on the UFP as well but cant really tell from the image

I thought it had rivets for a sec before I realised it was ERA lol
For top tier sure, plenty of backfilling out there still though (gaijin pls gib more vickers MBTs and chieftains)
supposedly its additional composite armour not sure about that tho
What? 🤣
ITS A FIRST IFV WITH AT LEAST EXIST DAMAGE IN UK TT.
Better than desert warrior with overstated br.

I did say that one needs a tiny bit more time
